Corporate Forum

The Coalition for Integrity believes in working with corporate leaders who dedicate their professional careers to ensuring their company’s compliance with anti-corruption laws and standards. The Corporate Forum is designed to provide the Coalition’s corporate supporters at the “Corporate Forum” level with an opportunity to have an exchange on emerging global issues and benchmark programs and practices with peers. At the Forum, senior compliance counsel and ethics officers are updated on notable new cases and developments, listen to briefings by agency officials, engage in in-depth exchanges on approaches to complex compliance challenges, exchange practical advice and recommendations, and receive updates on anti-corruption initiatives of importance to the private sector.
